New Year's resolution: let's tackle invasive species together!
Here we suggest two easy New Year’s resolutions to help tackle invasive species and protect biodiversity in Wales.
Wood warbler

Common sandpiper
The common sandpiper breeds along rivers, and by lakes, reservoirs and lochs in upland Scotland, Northern England and Wales. It can be spotted as a passage migrant at many inland wetlands across…
